the Military Encampment Before
Leaving Chicago-Both Called to the
Platform and Cheered Before Leav-
ing the Depot.
CHICAGO, Oct. 5.-Swarms of people
again filled all the approaches to the Palmer
House this morning, eagerly Watching for
a glimpse of President Cleveland when he
should emerge for drive to the inter
national military encampnent. Crowds of
vorkmen and shop girls on the way to their
daily tasks forgot for the time being the
toll before them and pressed forward
through the jam of country people and we'll
dressed city sightseers. Half a dozen
mounted police had no little trouble in
clearing a passage for the Presidents car
rage which was drawn by four spanking
bays
The sky was lowering and everyone pre-
dicted that it would rain before the Presi-
dent could make a start. Not a drop fell,
however, and at S:45 o'clock Mr.. Cleveland,
looking but little the worse for his wholesale
handshaking of the previous day, appeared
at the arched doorway, with his hat doffed
and making a good-natured bow to the
cheering crowd, he lightly sprang into the
waiting carriage and in a trice was whirl-
ing through the thick business district and
out Washington boulevard to the encamp-
ment. He was accompanied by Mayor
Roche, Gen. Terry and dozen lesser digni-
taries Early and threatening as was the
day the sidewalks along the entire route
were lined with people, including thousands
who, notwithstanding their strenuous all
day and evening efforts yesterday. had
failed to see the President or his wife in the
general confusion prevailing.
STUCK IN THE MUD.
A ludicrous incident occurred at the
entrance to the encampment grounds.
The Presidents carriage got stuck in
the mud. There was not a mo-
ment's time to spare, and the pranc-
ing bays were smartly lashed with the whip.
1t was nip and tuck with the mud, that was
made thick and sticky by the rain during
the night Finally, the vehicle containing
the chief magistrate of the nation gave
terrific lunge forward and was gone from
the laughing, cheering crowd. A rapid
drive past two or three thousand troops
drawn up in line, a laundering salute from
the artillery, and bows and smiles to
couple of thousands of spectators in the
stands completed the ceremonies at the en-
rampment Without delay the President
boarded a train for the depot
down town, from which the
start for Milwaukee was to be made.
1t lacked but five minutes of 10 o'clock, the
schedule time of the start for Milwaukee,
when he arrived Mrs Cleveland had pre-
ceded him by half an hour, slipping quietly
into a carriage at the hotel and being drawn
TO the depot comparatively unobServed.
The hundreds of spectators crowding the
waiting rooms when she arrived had grown
TO thousands in the short interval before the
President came. Behind the long ratings

1ential train it seemed like a quarter stretch
On Derby day, so closely packed and thor
oughly excited were the people. Mrs. Cleve-
land gazed out from the windows of the car
with decided interest when the President
stepped from the incoming train on the
adjoining track and briskly walked
to her side. At once cheers of
ssntrcaty went up for them to come ont on
the platform. ''We want to see Mrs. Cleve-
land, " and Three cheers for Grover" were
the cries. When Mrs. Cleveland, in her
green travelling dress, and tine President
with his head uncovered, appeared at the
rear door of the train, a mighty cheer rolled
through the depot.
just then the train began to move, and
while the multitude yelled, the President
and his fair young wife waved farewell to
Chicago.
On the way to the international encamp-
ment this morning President Cleveland ex-
dressed desire to see the historic site of the
Haymarket massacre. The Presidents car
riage was turned from Washington bOule-
yard and driven rapidly to the scene, where
Mayor Roche described the details of the
terrible tragedy. The President viewed the
scene with profound interest.
MILwAUKEE's ENTHUSIASM.
MILWAUKEE, Oct. Cup to to-day Mil
waukee had been only once honored by the
han. SNf Of Ia
United States. To-day the city was glow
ing with patriotism over its second oppor-
tunity to do honor to the chosen ruler of the
people. A large concourse of people assem-
bled at the Northwestern depot on the Lake
Shore, long before the time set for the
arrival of the Presidential train, and be-
tween the surging of the crowd and the
movement of the different organizations
INTO their assigned positions IN
the line of parade, that section
Of the city was afforded a spectacle new in
Its history. When the train finally drew
into tbs depot and the Presidential car
was brought abreast of the temporary plat
form upon which the President was to alight
the immense crowd cheered repeatedly, and
swayed and surged about the depot plat
form. The Presidential salute was fired by
battery on shore, and the revenue steamer
Andy johnson opened her ports and re-
echoed response.
THE ESCORT.
The prearranged plans were quietly put
IN operation, and the escort of the dstln-
Sulshed visitors took up its position. The
military presented "a fine appearance. 1t was
the largest parade of militia that has been
Seen Ill Milwaukee since the great reunion
IN 1880. AS the procession traversed the line
OF march there were frequent bursts OF
cheering, and the President bowed repeat
edly and lifted his hat in response to
tle cordial salutations. The buildings
on both sides of the streets
raversed by the procession We're
tastefully decorated with the national
SolorS evergreens, etc, some of the designs
being unique as well as tasteful. On Wis
T3onsin street, opposite their club rooms, the
juneau Club, an organization composed of
young Democrats, erected graceful arch
OF evergreen bearing the word Welcome"
ana pictures of Mr. and Mrs Cleveland,
and along the walk in front Of its quarters
was the reviewing stand from which the
members of the club and their ladies
greeted the President and his wife and
ehowered flowers upon them. The govern
ment buildings were also decorated with the
national colors and with portraits of the
PRESIDENT and his wife.
